With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s never too early to find something special for Mom.

There’s a special corner of Etsy with Waterloo Region shops, giving you lots of options to find something personal and locally-made. You’ll be able to find beautiful prints of local landmarks (maybe one of Mom’s favourites), custom clothing, and other items handmade by locals.

Here are some searches to get you started:

• Waterloo Region-themed items
• Items made in Waterloo
• Items made in Kitchener
• Items made in Cambridge
